NORMAN — Having given it some real thought, it’s clear Oklahoma State has a secret weapon as Bedlam approaches Saturday evening and here it is:

Oklahoma State had to overcome injuries, a sluggish offense and an opposing mobile freshman quarterback to escape with a 20-18 win Saturday against Kansas State in Manhattan, Kansas.

For the first time since 2015, Oklahoma State is undefeated through its first four games.

Long has Oklahoma State football been reliant on its offense to win football games in the Big 12 Conference, but with injuries at quarterback and along the offensive line, the Cowboys have turned to the defense for its clean start to the season.

It’s easy to see why Oklahoma State football faithful are enamoured with Mike Gundy. The longtime OSU football coach has turned the program around and made it a formidable force.

“Shock. Anger. Frustration. Determination.” That was the tweet by Oklahoma State senior athletic director of communications Kevin Klintworth.

STILLWATER — Eddie Sutton lived long enough to find out he is a member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, but not long enough to see his enshrinement.

Mike Boynton and the Oklahoma State men’s basketball team added another player to next year’s team, Cal Baptist grad transfer Ferron Flavors.

Oklahoma claimed Bedlam Saturday night inside Boone Pickens Stadium

Oklahoma strolls into the final stretch of the regular season with momentum matched by few, and the first College Football Playoff poll reflected that.

Imagine what the final score might have been had the Sooners not taken the second and third quarters off.

NORMAN — Having given it some real thought, it’s clear Oklahoma State has a secret weapon as Bedlam approaches Saturday evening and here it is:

Oklahoma and Oklahoma State will kick off at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 21 at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. The game will air on ABC.

Neither quarterback Spencer Rattler nor H-back Austin Stogner seem to be in jeopardy of missing Oklahoma’s game against Oklahoma State on Nov. 21.

It’s hard to believe, but once upon a time, long, long ago, a college football team won an undisputed national championship despite suffering two conference losses.

Oklahoma’s all-time winningest men’s basketball coach, Billy Tubbs, who skippered the Sooners from the 1980-81 season to the 1993-94 season, died on Sunday at the age of 85.

You’d think Sooner football is in the midst of an unprecedented season and you’d be right if the implications of COVID-19 were the topic. 

“We’ve had a strong start to the week of practice,” Lincoln Riley offered during his weekly teleconference on Tuesday.

Oklahoma defensive end Ronnie Perkins was a notable addition to the Sooners’ sideline against Iowa State in Ames on Saturday.

Here is the way two national outlets have portrayed what’s going on with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The rebuilding of the Oklahoma City Thunder in the wake of the trades of Russell Westbrook, Paul George and Jerami Grant is clearly on. However, tanking may be difficult.

Those fawning over Russell Westbrook’s time in Oklahoma City, apoplectic that cheering for him now means rooting for a different uniform and it’s all unimaginably horrible, are wrong.

The Thunder chose to take young potential rather than fill their most pressing need in the draft.

The Oklahoma City Thunder hold the 21st pick in the June 20 NBA draft and, of all the spots from which organization’s ever chosen, the 21st selection has been the most prolific.

The more things change, the more they stay the same for the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Oklahoma City Thunder did their job Tuesday, winning their fifth straight game to close the regular season, topping Milwaukee 127-116.

A comrade fallen, the Thunder played the final quarter and a half with renewed purpose.
